Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, September 19 through Friday, September 23


During this week we will continue our leadup to the Revolutionary War.  We will finish Ch. 5 by Wednesday, and will start Ch. 6.  Please note that our first test will happen on a T day after we finish Ch. 6.  If all goes well, we will have our first test of the year a week from Thursday (September 28th). The test will cover everything we have gone over since the start of school (Chapters 4-6, plus what we read in Chapter 3). This week might be a good time for your first conference session!
